      Shared with @reshare_app • @ubudwritersfest This b Shared with @reshare_app • @ubudwritersfest This book follows Munin, a former political prisoner, who runs Blitar Magic Garage in Setiabudi, a makeshift settlement in central Jakarta. When whispers of redevelopment threaten the fragile balance of the neighbourhood, Munin and his neighbours are forced to confront a dark web of corruption, greed and political manoeuvring, their alliances strained as they grapple with their pasts and futures in an effort to defend the kampung against developers and the army.Will Suharto’s relentless vision of progress overshadow the dreams of Soekarno’s little people? As Munin repairs cars belonging to Jakarta’s elite with magic, spirit warnings suggest that trouble is brewing, whether from the land clearance, or something more sinister.📍 Rumah Kayu at Taman Baca Ubud 🗓️ Friday, 23 October ⏰ 5 PM 🎟️ Register via tinyurl.com/UWRF26BookLaunchRegist ➡️ Learn more tinyurl.com/UWRF26BookLaunchesBuku ini mengikuti kisah Munin, mantan tahanan politik, yang menjalankan Blitar Magic Garage di Setiabudi, sebuah permukiman darurat di tengah Jakarta. Ketika desas-desus penggusuran mengancam keseimbangan rapuh lingkungan tersebut, Munin dan para tetangganya terpaksa menghadapi jaringan gelap korupsi, keserakahan, dan manuver politik, dengan aliansi mereka yang goyah saat mereka bergulat dengan masa lalu dan masa depan mereka dalam upaya mempertahankan kampung dari para pengembang dan militer.Akankah visi kemajuan tanpa henti ala Suharto mengalahkan impian rakyat kecil ala Soekarno? Sementara Munin memperbaiki mobil-mobil milik kalangan elite Jakarta dengan sihir, pertanda gaib mengisyaratkan bahwa ada bahaya yang mengintai, entah dari penggusuran lahan, atau sesuatu yang lebih gelap.#ubudwritersandreadersfestival #monsoonbooks #blitarmagicgarage #jakarta

      Shared with @reshare_app • @marinareads19 Book Rev Shared with @reshare_app • @marinareads19 Book Review (464 - 2026) . Judul : Srivijaya Pengarang : Herald Van Der Linde Penerbit : @monsoonbooks Halaman : 483 Halaman Genre : Sejarah Asia Tenggara Format : E-book Rating : 3,4/5✨️ . Kalau sebelumnya penulis menceritakan kisah kerajaan Majapahit kali ini beliau mengisahkan kerajaan Sriwijaya salah satu kerajaan terkuat yang menguasai perdagangan di Asia dan juga menjalin hubungan dagang dengan Tiongkok dan India. . Aku menyukai buku ini apalagi dilihat dari berbagai sumber yang dikumpulkan bagaimana Kerajaan Sriwijaya berdiri, awal mula ada hubungan dagang, masa-masa keemasan kerajaan sriwijaya hingga keruntuhan kerajaannya. . Buku ini dibagi menjadi tiga bagian yaitu bagian pertama inagurasi candi borobudur di tahun 824 CE. Bagian kedua sejarah kejayaan Sriwijaya dan mulai dibangunnya candi Borobudur. Terakhir masa-masa tentara kerajaan India di Chola menyerang kerajaan Sriwijaya di tahun 1025 CE. . Buku ini merupakan pelengkap dari kisah-kisah kerajaan sriwijaya yang kita temukan di buku-buku sejarah. Patut dibaca agar bisa mendapatkan kisah kerajaan ini lebih komprehensif .

      Shared with @reshare_app • @tari_lang Indonesia Shared with @reshare_app • @tari_langIndonesia has lost one of her treasured sons. @guruh_sukarno_putra, youngest son of President Sukarno and First Lady Fatmawati passed today, way too early. He was as passionate about politics as much as he was about culture, music and choreography. We saw him the last time I was in Jakarta, two weeks before lockdown when I was fact-checking My Neighbour, The Dictator by speaking to old friends and family and gaining permission to use their stories in the book. (They all gave permission, most asked me to change their names). It was Mas Guruh’s birthday so we got to join the party which was a joy. Rest in Peace.
